The editors liked
It's really thin
Crisp picture
Good colours
Pictures are top class due to their excellent contrasts
Warm colours and deep black levels. The set also produces wonderfully full-bodied sound from its massive speakers
4K picture quality is insanely good
The set's design is imperious
And the sound quality is the best we've heard from a TV.
Stunning colours with true blacks
Brilliant 4K upscaling
Fantastic sound
Beautiful wedge design
Genuinely intelligent smart features
Really easy to use
Bold wedge design
Superb image performance
Stereo magnetic fluid speakers
Native 4K images are astonishing
Upscaled 4K images are brilliant too
3D images are the best we've seen
Beautiful
Premium design
4K looks flipping fantastic
The best-sounding TV we've tested
Resolution four times higher than Full HD
Contrast over 5
000
1
Perfect colours
Excellent 3D with virtually no crosstalk
Good motion interpolation
Two remotes
One of which is compact and NFCcompatible
Sound quality unlike anything we've ever heard
Pin
Sharp 4K pictures
Great Blu
Ray upscaling
Clearer passive 3D
Excellent built
In audio
Supremely accurate colours
Very good black levels
Impressive dynamic range
Mostly clean scaling of 720p and above
Tons of VoD services
Top Mobile App
Stunning UHD and upscaled picture quality
Class-leading audio
Fair price for what's on offer
The editors didn't like
Patchy
Bleeding backlight
Needs better contrast
The smart TV system lacks apps for 4oD and ITV Player
And although the speakers sound great
They make the TV very chunky. Its 3D performance is also a letdown as it suffers from some crosstalk
Black levels could be better
And Sony's smart TV interface lacks a little sophistication
Speaker design might not suit all
New onscreen Social View Twitter app is somewhat antisocial
3D isn't perfect - but who wants that anyway
Limited catch-up TV services
Distracting Twitter app
It's huge
It costs £25k
There's a rather small audio sweetspot
We did mention it costs £25k
Right?
Almost no 4K content to watch
No 4K source material yet
So you can't make full use of the Ultra HD resolution
Glossy screen sensitive to glare
Speakers are set into the TV
Nonremovable
Response time below average
Wide footprint
Some motion blur
Average remote
SD upscaling struggles
Some dirty screen effect
Too small for most to appreciate resolution improvement
Abstract: Det är inte ofta en TV gör så du tänker “Wow” innan den ens är påslagen, men Sonys 65X9005C åstadkommer detta genom sin häpnadsväckande design. Denna 65-tumsskärm är ultratunn – bara 4.9 mm på tunnaste stället. Den levereras med en innovativ monteringslös...
For the money, the Sony KD65X9005 is a decent TV. It does well in some key areas, but it is certainly flawed - look elsewhere if you're after the best performance at this price.However, if you're after one of the thinnest TVs in existence, this may do the...
Abstract: This Sony TV simply brings so much more detail, clarity, sharper edges, and far more vivid and natural colours. The picture quality is constantly breathtaking and jaw-dropping. Prior to owning this TV, I owned a very fine widescreen Sony Bravia, which gav...
Abstract: Whatever angle you take, Sony's KD-65X9005B is a formidable 4K proposition. With its mould-breaking design, pixel-pushing picture processing and audiophile pretensions, it sees Sony's TV division at its most confident in years. Also available in 55in and ...
Overall, the KD-65X8005B is a barnstormer of a 4K bigscreen television. We've seen some great Ultra HD performers this year, but none are so comprehensively satisfying as this new X9, and our caveats remain minor. From design to AV performance, the KD-65X...

Sony's KD-65X9005B produces really stunning picture quality, not just with UltraHD video, but also with Blu-rays and HD broadcasts. Its sound quality is top notch too thanks to its meaty speakers. The chunky design, 3D performance and smart TV system cou...

Stunning colours with true blacks, brilliant 4K upscaling, fantastic sound, beautiful wedge design, genuinely intelligent smart features, really easy to use
Speaker design might not suit all, new onscreen Social View Twitter app is somewhat antisocial, 3D isn't perfect - but who wants that anyway
If you're thinking about upgrading your TV and taking the 4K plunge then you'd be hard pressed to find anything nearly as good as the Sony X9005B. Although the 65-inch version's £3,600 price isn't small, it's a lot more affordable than first-genera...

The Sony KD-55X9005B is a seriously talented performer which handles every type of mainstream content you throw at it with aplomb, be it Blu-ray movies, live sports broadcast or video games. In terms of LCD-making pedigree, brand image and marketing power...
